Abstract:
Skeletal Class II malocclusions with vertical maxillary excess (VME) present with an amalgamation of several problems pertaining to psychological, esthetics, and function. The optimal treatment plan in such cases includes a synchronized orthodontic-surgical approach through superior repositioning and setback of maxilla by means of Le Fort I osteotomy and augmentation genioplasty. This case report describes a multidisciplinary approach in the successful management of a patient with VME to achieve superior esthetics and function.
